Why not celebrate the New Year with a trip to sunny Colombia? Smack bang in the middle of the dry season, January brings warm and dry conditions that are excellent for hiking. Visit the valleys of the West Andes and stretch your legs on a scenic trekking trail. Or, for coastal views, head to Tayrona National Park on the Caribbean coast. Stroll through the jungle beneath a thick canopy of trees or bask in the sunshine, relaxing on the blissful beaches. For a city escape, Cartagena is calling your name. Once the largest port in the Americas, this historic city is renowned for its architecture. Wander past colourful colonial buildings illuminated by the January sun, and be sure to capture some photos.

Christmas may be all wrapped up but that doesn’t mean the fun’s over. If you’re looking for some winter sun, Grenada’s just the place to be. The Caribbean Island boasts pristine waters with clear skies to match. Soak up the sun, with temperatures reaching highs of 28°C, or escape the heat and plunge into Grenada’s underwater world. Snorkel past sunken statues at Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park or dive amid vibrant reefs, historic shipwrecks and secluded sea caves for a real adventure. January also marks Grenada’s annual sailing festival, a week-long event which sees international yacht racing take centre stage – a viewing experience not to be missed off your itinerary.

Tanzania has rightfully gained a reputation for superb wildlife spotting. Plan a trip for January, and you might just witness the legendary Great Migration, where almost a million wildebeest gather in the southern Serengeti in search of new pastures. Following in their wake is a startling constellation of predators (we’re talking everything from lions to hyenas), making the Great Migration serious bucket-list material. January’s warm and dry weather is a double blessing, setting the scene perfectly for eye-popping safaris. And if you decide to twin all this with a trip to Zanzibar, sunshine is always on the cards.

Ah, Thailand – the free-spirited country we can’t help but fall in love with. There are the islands – dreamy dots in the ocean that conjure all the best clichés: clear seas, soft sands and days of unapologetic beachside R&R. There’s the beacon of Bangkok, with its shiny hotels and chaotic pockets of enterprise. And then there are waterfalls, green and serene natural parks, sprawling forests and off-grid villages. Visit in January when it looks its best and you’ll understand exactly why the regulars keep coming back for more.
